My group all took the day (or night) off work, so we are going to try to get there extra early this month.
Always a great time. If you have never attended before you're really missing out a fun evening!

If you guys are coming early, I will try to get my DJ rig happening by 6 instead of 7 so you have some tunes to listen to.

I live too far away to attend this one, but I do have some friends who live close by and in the Chicago area. I will give them a ringy-ding-ding and tell them to get themselves to it! :)

Wish I could be there! Everyone who goes, be sure to take pics and post them here for me! :D

Aloha everyone! EsQui and I will be there around 6. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Bump...

Hope to see a big crowd! Tell your friends... bring your friends!

Tiki! Tiki! Tiki!

Hey thanks for trying to set up music early. We are planing to spend the day in the city so hopefully we will be there by 6:00pm.

A huge thanks to all those who came out last night! Good music, drinks and ohana.

Thanks to all those who took home tikis!

Another happy grand prize raffle winner!

Another nice event.

I brought some friends this time and we shared a Rum Keg - I though this drink was awesome, and a good bargain (for TV's) on the booze per dollar scale.

Thanks to the Windy City Islanders for a great show.

We'll see you all next month!

thanks for posting the pics, Tikibars,
looks like everyone had a great time,
especially EsQui!
